<img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Anyone know of a source of metal valve stem caps (same type used on pre-war vehicles)?

Thanks,

Did you try Coker Tire??

If not Coker, try Universal Tire.

I bought the ones on the fire truck from Coker at Hershey last fall.

In Greensburg two years ago, a guy who was across from us had a car and was missing metal valve stem caps, so we went over and "borrowed" some valve stem caps off of a contractor's job trailer, cleaned them up real quick, put them on a car, and returned them after judging was over. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The end result, the guy won his First Junior with his car.

Hey my dad and I helped out a new member and it worked. It isn't the best solution, but it is one that worked to another person's advantage.

True story....

Universal has both the dome and prong valve caps in stock.

I also found on Ebay a box of 100 of the prong type for $4.00 for the box. Thanks everyone, as I heard that plastic valve covers are a no-no.

That depends on the age of the vehicle.
